Vizier. Not to be confused with visor.
A vizier (/vɪˈzɪər/, rarely /ˈvɪzjər/;[1] وزير in Arabic script (Arabic (Arabic pronunciation Wazeer), Persian: vazīr, Turkish: vezir, Urdu); Hindi: वज़ीर; sometimes spelled vazir, vizir, vasir, wazir, vesir, or vezir) is a high-ranking political advisor or minister. The Abbasid Caliphs gave the title wazir to a minister formerly called katib (secretary) who was at first merely a helper, but afterwards became the representative and successor of the dapir (official scribe or secretary) of the Sassanian kings.[2] Etymology[edit] The word entered into English in 1562 from the Turkish vezir ("counselor"), derived from the Arabic wazir ("viceroy"). Wazir itself has two possible etymologies: The most accepted[dubious ] etymology is that it is derived from the Arabic wazara ("to bear a burden"), from the Semitic root W-Z-R.

Spruance was nicknamed "electric brain" for his calmness even in moments of supreme crisis: a reputation enhanced by his successful tactics at Midway.[2] Early life[edit] Spruance was born in Baltimore, Maryland to Alexander and Annie Spruance. He was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana.[3] Spruance attended Indianapolis public schools and graduated from Shortridge High School. From there, he went on to graduate from the U.S. Career prior to World War II[edit] Spruance ran a quiet bridge, without chit-chat; he demanded that orders be given concisely and clearly. Q.E.D. Etymology and early use[edit] The phrase quod erat demonstrandum is a translation into Latin from the Greek ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι (hoper edei deixai; abbreviated as ΟΕΔ).
Translating from the Latin into English yields, "what was to be demonstrated"; however, translating the Greek phrase ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι produces a slightly different meaning. Since the verb "δείκνυμι" also means to show or to prove,[2] a better translation from the Greek would read, "what was required to be proved.
"[1] The phrase was used by many early Greek mathematicians, including Euclid[3] and Archimedes. Modern philosophy[edit] Philippe van Lansberge's 1604 Triangulorum Geometriæ used quod erat demonstrandum to conclude some proofs; others ended with phrases such as sigillatim deinceps demonstrabitur, magnitudo demonstranda est, and other variants.[4] In the European Renaissance, scholars often wrote in Latin, and phrases such as Q.E.D. were often used to conclude proofs.
